TWD: Chocolate Chocolate-Cupcakes
TWD: Chocolate Overdose!Chocolate... a word that first pops to mind when you step into a cake shop. Simple unadulterated glossy rich goodness, all in the form of moist cakes, crisp waffles laden with a generous slathering of chocolate spread, heavenly chocolate ice-creams and pudgey eclairs bursting in its seams with thick chocolate pastry cream.
Funny thing is that chocolate has the opposite effect to me as do bananas. I do much prefer them in its solid state ( a.k.a solid bars of good quality chocolate) as compared to their many variations when incorporated into desserts. In fact, place me in front of a pastry display case and I'll be sure to choose that pistachio and apricot gateux over that lovely chocolate tart or eclair anytime!
But, no one can deny the 'happy' effects that accompanies every chocolate treats. And every once in a while, I'll reach out for that bar of white chocolate ( silly me..) or dark chocolate bar for that extra special reward.
Thanks Clara for choosing this recipe. Pity I didn't manage to decorate them with the halloween theme. For more cupcakes, visit the TWD Blogroll!

So cute! Love those crunchy pearls. They are adorable!
Wow... The chocolate cupcakes sure looks yummy, like a nice chocolate fudge layer...
By the way, wat is TWD, I seen this quite often on your blog but couldn't figure out what is it...
fen: TWD stands for Tuesdays With Dorie. We're a group of bakers that bake up goodies from our Dorie Greenspan book and post it up every tuesday. Visit the link on my sidebar for more information on the group! It's very fun as it allows you to try your hand on things that would seem rather intimidating sometimes. But with the support of the group, everything seems much better!
Ooh, those are some great looking cupcakes! I'll bet that nutella tasted delish inside. Chocolate is fine in any form for me, but I'll also take the pistachio/apricot!
